Following a customers occurrence, the Royal Thai Highway Police may file a criminal complaint against Smitthiphat Leenawarat, the brother of a well-known Pathum Thani politician.
The incident involves Mr. Smitthiphat’s BMW colliding with Prachak Duangyai, a 65-year-old delivery truck. In the car was his family, Somsri, 64, who was also with him. Both were hurt in the collision, and Mr. Prachak is already receiving medical attention in a hospital.
On Wednesday night, an incident took place in Pathum Thani state on Bangkok’s southeast outer ring road.
The event is being pursued in two parts, according to Pol Col Kuekkong Disawat, the Bridge Police Division 8 captain. The second concernes reckless moving and home injury, which are both under the control of the Royal Thai Highway Police. Prosecutors are preparing to command both vehicles under the Traffic Act, with possible fines of up to 4,000 baht.
Since his license expired in June 2021, Mr. Smitthiphat will also be subject to an additional fee for driving without a valid license. Studies are also looking into the frequency with which he approached the M-Flow burden booth, which is especially important during the Songkran holiday season when charges were waived.
Pol Col Kuekkong claimed that no liquor in his system was found during blood alcohol tests two hours after the incident.
The reddish number plate on Mr. Smitthiphat’s BMW likewise caused him to address public concern. Initial inspections revealed irregularities in the car’s registration. The Department of Land Transport may continue to look into the issue.
The vehicles and a number of other documents will be given to Lam Luk Ka authorities in case of document falsification if fraud is discovered.
The old driver suffered important injuries as a result of the collision’s serious nature.
Police in Lam Luk Ka are trying to determine whether the work was intended to cause damage or whether it was irresponsible driving. Soldiers are gathering information from witnesses and surveillance video.
The female customer has already released a declaration, but Mr. Prachak is still in critical condition and unable to talk at this time.
Despite Mr. Smitthiphat’s family ties to important local and national politicians, Pol Col Thiradet Chanlad of Lam Luk Ka policeman assured the people that the investigation would resume dispassionately.
He is the son of a former president of the Thanyaburi subdistrict city and the younger sibling of a Pheu Thai MP representing Pathum Thani.
